If I could skip the Wii U and get better versions of Wii U games, then the Wii U was a ripoff.

All those definitive edition on ps4 doesnt apply?

Apparently, it's only bad when Nintendo does it.

PS3 didn't need exclusives to be a good console. Wii U did.

The Wii U is still a good console to me despite its exclusives being ported to the Switch.

What about the dozens of 3rd party PS3/360 titles that got ported to PS4/XBO?

I disagree. 

 

Using the GamePad is my preferred way to rewind and fast forward precisely on Netflix and Crunchyroll.

Apparently Nintendo went to Magus' house, stole all of his Wii U games and held his dog at gunpoint until he bought a Switch and the ported games. They also left the toilet seat up, left the milk out on the counter and spoiled he ending of his favorite TV show.

Oh, and they also put a device on his head that removed all the enjoyment he experienced playing Wii U games.

It happened to me too

I am pretty sure I've had this argument before.

Anyway as a Wii U owner, it can suck but business is not about tenderly caring for feelings unless they provide money. Wii U owners are a limited group and didn't provide Nintendo the money they want, so the company is moving on.

I mean this isn't even the first time they have done such things so complaining about the Wii U being bitterly screwed over doesn't change the fact that it failed. Through a number of bad design and marketing choices it was Nintendo's worst system despite the promise and quality software it did have and get. It is better that the good software on it gets another life on the Switch then be relegated to oblivion like whatever good games may have been on other failing systems like the entire Virtual Boy or majority of Saturn (seriously the lack of Panzer Dragoon remakes, sequels or ports is a crime against gaming) exclusive line up.

While I do wish the prices of these ports were more reasonable, saying because they are there is some sort of major insult to gamers that owned the Wii U is overly dramatic and disregards the numerous times most companies have used similar or the same tactics in porting games from a dead system to a live one.

This is the first time Nintendo screwed owners of a system so hard. Nintendo should have done the right thing and keep Wii U games on Wii U.

What? You act like Nintendo has never ported games from previous systems. Off the top of my head Mario 64, OoT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Yoshi's Island, SMB 2, SMB 3, SMW, Link's Awakening were all ported/remastered at some point. In fact Wii U was beneficiary of some of these ports. 

 

Nintendo hasn't screwed anyone, they are in business to make money just like any other corporation. Being salty because more people have access to Wii U games via the Switch is way over the top.

I can't believe I actually got my prediction right :)
Incredible show by an incredible console!

I wonder how this compares to PS4 or Wii?
